In 2023, Poland led with a volume of 42 million vehicle-kilometers in the European road freight for metal structures, signifying a moderate increase of 0.98% year-on-year. The Czech Republic and Spain both recorded volumes of 12 million, with notable growth rates of 5.92% and 8.45%, respectively. Slovakia's volume at 9 million saw a slight rise of 2.38%. Romania and Croatia experienced significant growth at 14.87%, though Romania still maintained a modest volume of 4 million. Austria and France faced declines, particularly France with a drop of 31.23%.
Future trends to watch for include the continuous growth potential in emerging markets like Romania and the Czech Republic due to their significant year-on-year growth rates. Western European markets like France and Austria may see restructuring efforts to address the recent declines. The industry's response to sustainability and carbon neutrality targets could also reshape road freight dynamics in the coming years.
